More about Cerivcal Mucus

I found some better pictures about what the CM looks like on Google. This info is borrowed from Baby Center. They have the credit, & do not take responsibility for this info.

You can find this info. at.  http://www.babycenter.com/101_what-cervical-mucus-looks-like-through-your-cycle_10351429.bc


Egg white cervical mucus

So-called egg white cervical mucus is the most fertile of all CM types because it allows the sperm to swim easily into the cervix. Its consistency is similar to raw egg whites and it can stretch an inch or two without breaking in the middle.


 

 

 

 

 

 

Watery cervical mucus

Watery CM is second best for conception, after egg white CM. It allows sperm to move unhindered into the cervix, but doesn't make the sperm's job quite as easy. When you have watery CM, you may feel as though you've leaked urine in your underwear. Watery CM is clear in color and drips or runs off your fingers.






 

 Creamy cervical mucus

Creamy CM is considered non-fertile because it greatly restricts the movement of sperm. Creamy CM can be a pearly white or creamy yellow. It's thick and feels like lotion when rubbed between the fingers

 

Sticky cervical mucus

 Sticky or tacky CM is the least fertile. It's thick and chunky and feels kind of like paste or like glue from a glue stick, making it hard for sperm to swim through.
